Spooky was a DC3! Amazing aircraft that DC3, probably the best designed airframe of the 1930s. DC3s are (IIRC) still flying commercially in Alaska. almost 80 years after first flight.
DC3 is in military parlance a C-47. AC-47 or AC47 means “attack.”
Another legend with the exact-same engines was the PBY "Flying Boat", that made itself a legend since the day it was designed. One sighted the Bismarck spelling its destruction. Others rescued "coast watchers" to safety from New Guinea. Many downed aviators were rescued at sea. Another sighted a mini-Japanese submarine outside Pearl Harbor just before the attack. It was sunk, but the attack proceeded that Sunday morning.
